We edited the final guidance statements for clarity, aiming to capture the consensus of the Delphi aspects of the following topics (see Table 1 ): testing of asymptomatic staff and residents, 111 surveillance testing, visitor guidance, immunity from prior COVID-19 infection and associated 112 risk of infecting others. The panel 144 strongly agreed on some preconditions that would be essential prior to welcoming back visitors, 145 such as universal masking for staff, sufficient disinfecting supplies, PPE, and written plans 146 around isolation, cohorting, screening, testing, and outbreak investigations.	./cache/cord-272995-yvj2pqh1.txt	./txt/cord-272995-yvj2pqh1.txt
